The Martian base, in the inner space of the Source of Creation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The head of the Mars base, Gabriel, is going back and forth to inspect the alien device that has been perfectly disassembled and completed for the transformation mission.

"Yuan, the renovation of the main device has basically been completed, and now the last step of installation is missing."

Yuan is Gabriel's nickname for Yuan Chen, and after 2 months of getting along, the relationship between everyone has gradually become familiar.

"Yes, the original nuclear pulse power system on the Future has also been completely dismantled, and it is time to operate on it." Yuan Haochen nodded and said.

"It's a major operation, haha."

Gabriel just loves to laugh, is an easy-going personality, and is very easy to get along with. During this time, he has been doing his best to help Yuan Haochen carry out the transformation of the "Future".

"Thanks to your help, this renovation has gone so smoothly." Yuan Haochen expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Gabriel.

"This is what we should do, and the alliance has instructed us to fully cooperate with your work, haha." Gabriel said with a smile waving his hand.

Yuan Haochen greeted him with a smile.

"With the Black Hole Power System installed, how fast can Mirai fly?" Gabriel suddenly asked curiously.

"Through the research and calculation of the energy level of the transformed black hole system in the past few years, combined with the mass of Future, it is expected that our modified black hole dynamical system can theoretically make Future's speed of light reach 40~50%."

"Oh my God, how the hell did this happen?!" Gabriel's face contorted with surprise and an exaggerated expression, and he asked expectantly, "I'm not familiar with this aspect, can you give me a brief introduction?" ”

"That's my pleasure." Yuan Haochen said with a smile, "Actually, as early as the last century, some scientists have proposed the concept of artificial black holes, have you ever heard of [ball lightning]? ”

"I've heard a little about it, but I don't know what the hell it is." Gabriel modestly replied.

"The theory is that if enough energy can be concentrated in one space, a miniature black hole can be formed, and the behavior of the black hole can be described by the Swazi range." Yuan Haochen continued to explain.

"Is this how alien technology creates black holes?"

"The theories are similar, but the specific means are different. The Creator uses powerful laser energy to create black holes. Stephen Hawking has already demonstrated that black holes are not completely black (swallowing all matter), and when the matter in them is converted into subatomic particle clusters, the black hole "evaporates", resulting in Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation contains all kinds of subatomic particles, but the main one is gamma-ray photons. ”

"The power system is powered by these energetic particles?"

"Yes, the Creator's technology allows high-energy gamma rays emitted by miniature black holes to convert high-energy particles such as electrons and positron pairs (positron pairs belong to antimatter) into a power unit similar to a jet engine through electromagnetic field deflection."

"I see!" Gabriel seemed to open suddenly.

"You must have heard that the ultimate source of energy in the universe is a black hole." Yuan Haochen asked rhetorically.

"I've really heard that if you master the ultimate black hole energy, you will become a god-like existence." Gabriel affirms this.

"Ha, your analogy is very vivid. I believe that Hawking radiation will be the most important power source for starships to travel the galaxy. It's much more reliable than antimatter power. Yuan Haochen said affirmatively.

"Oh......" Gabriel didn't keep up again.

"Small black holes emit Hawking radiation far more than large black holes with stellar mass. In other words, the less massive the black hole will have a shorter lifespan and the faster it will evaporate as it undergoes Hawking radiation. ”

"In that case, Future will create a black hole small enough." Gabriel's head flashed and he said excitedly.

"You're right."

"What does the black hole engine rely on as fuel?" Gabriel's head seemed to pop up with 100,000 whys.

"What is a black hole?" Yuan Haochen showed a mysterious smile.

"Black hole...., isn't it a black hole?"

When Gabriel was asked like this, he suddenly became unconfident.

"Black holes devour most of the matter, right?" Yuan Haochen continued to ask.

"That's what happened!"

"Therefore, the black hole engine does not pick fuel, any substance can be thrown into the black hole for refueling, and its operating cost should be low."

"Anything can be used as fuel?" Gabriel was taken aback.

"Theoretically, it is, including astronaut excrement."

“shi~t？”

“yes！ Including shi~t. ”

"That's a bit of a pity, I thought astronauts' excrement could be recycled and involved in building an ecological recycling system. We at the Mars base are working on this project. "Gabriel has been on Mars for a long time, and it seems that he has also developed a deep affection for human excrement.

"Uh~" When Gabriel talked about Xiang, Yuan Haochen was also taken aback with a regretful expression, "We have also considered building a recyclable micro-ecosystem on the Future. However, this is not realistic, in order to ensure speed, the space of the Future is severely limited, and it is impossible to build a complex and complete ecosystem in such a small space. At present, there is only a water cycle on board Future, and there is also an oxygen cycle. ”

"You have a point, too single ecological cycle system is too fragile, the fewer species in the ecosystem, the lower the resistance and stability, when the ecological cycle collapses, it will have a fatal impact on long interstellar travel. We will also pay special attention to this when building the Mars base ecosystem. Gabriel nodded approvingly.

"So it's not feasible to create an ecosystem on a small spaceship, and it's just a simple recycling of matter. If humans can build super-giant spaceships in the future, they may be able to build a complete ecosystem. In fact, the Earth is a huge spaceship with a fully enclosed ecosystem. Yuan Haochen added.

The Earth contains billions of cubic kilometers of atmosphere, hundreds of millions of cubic kilometers of water, billions of hectares of farmland, and 6 billion human beings, all of which form a complete cycle of human survival. So, as long as the interstellar spaceship is large enough, it will definitely be able to establish a well-developed circulation system, so that food, water and oxygen can be 100% recycled.

"Perhaps, there are already many cosmic civilizations living such a cosmic nomadic life." Gabriel said thoughtfully, "Will our earth civilization have such a day?" ”

"I'm too unsure about this ......."

Yuan Haochen didn't want to talk about it anymore, which made him think of something unhappy.
